His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Chapter 1024:

“One was caught cheating at a casino,” Gordon explained. “During the process of punishing him, the staff accidentally beat him to death. The other overdosed on drugs, became disoriented, and ran into traffic where he was struck by a car and died, despite the hospital’s efforts to save him. Our investigations suggest these were just accidents, but the circumstances seem too coincidental.”noveldrama

Lucas’s gaze sharpened, a cold glint in his dark eyes.

“When did they die?” he asked.

“The 12th and the 22nd of last month,” Gordon responded.

A silence fell before Lucas commanded in a deep, husky tone, “Investigate this! Look into every detail. Leave nothing unchecked.”

“Yes.” Gordon quickly turned and left.

Once alone, Lucas stood, fueled by a new purpose.

He believed now he had a reason to see Belinda.

This was something she needed to know.

However, his hopes were dashed at the gates of Belinda’s house.

The maid, speaking through the video intercom, was firm in her stance. “Mr. Clark, please, Miss Wright instructed me not to open the door for you regardless of what you say. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Lucas inhaled deeply and said in a low voice, “Tell her it’s important.”

The maid answered, “Miss Wright said, no matter how important it is, she doesn’t want to hear it.”

Lucas fell silent.

His expression turned cold and faintly pale.

He hadn’t expected Belinda to be this resolute.

She didn’t even want to see him now.

Just as Lucas was about to force the door open, it opened from the inside.

When Lucas saw the person emerging from the house, his brow twitched. He stepped forward and greeted, “Mrs. Thomas.”

Mollie looked at Lucas and said sharply, “Lucas, don’t come here again!

Belinda won’t see you.”

“Sorry, but that’s not going to happen,” Lucas replied firmly.

His stance was unwavering.

Mollie said, “No matter how many times you come, the result will be the same! You are being stubborn.”

Lucas’ voice remained firm. “No matter what happens, I won’t leave Belinda. So, don’t try to persuade me anymore.”

Mollie sneered, “Your family might not think the same.”

Lucas’ eyes flickered. “My family? What do you mean?”

Realizing her slip, Mollie backtracked. “It’s nothing. Just a casual remark.”

Lucas asked, his voice low and serious, “Did my parents say something to Belinda?”

“I didn’t say that.” Even though Mollie said that, the expression on her face revealed everything.
